Unemployed

Marcy A Hurlburt — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:00:04 +0000

I am currently among the ranks of the unemployed and need to modify this situation as quickly as possible. The job market in this economy is proving to be challenging.

I have spent the last 8 years employed in administrative positions in both the manufacturing and publishing industries. Prior to that I work in the printing industry in pre-press production.

I’m currently in search of a new and challenging administrative position.

What do you see?

How many of you used to sit as children and look at the clouds to see what kind of shapes they might form? After a brief thunderstorm some beautiful white fluffy clouds filled our bright blue sky.

I’m seeing a Mountain Range here. What do you see?

Bright blue sky, pouring rain & thunder…

Shelbi’s Cupcake Journal

Marcy A Hurlburt — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 01:54:40 +0000

This was a little gift for a friend of mine. This was handmade by me using a variety of papers with different weights and textures. The pages for writing are a medium weight white paper with a slight texture. I used alcohol inks to tint the the frame that houses the cupcake and bound the book with my recently purchased binding machine.

I have a great love of journals, papers, pens and writing and I like to share this gift whenever possible. And as with all gifts for friends and family lots of thought and time went into this, as I’m sure you can tell. But what you probably can’t tell is just how much fun these sorts of projects are for me. If I could create like this all day long I would.

Be sure to keep an eye out for my upcoming Etsy shop where I will feature some of my creative endeavors for purchase.

The latest test of my artistic ability.

Last thing at night… First thing in the morning…

Yep, that’s my theme. I thought it would be easy, a piece of cake, boy was I wrong. If this were strictly a writing project it would be a lot easier. It’s a sketchbook. It needs to be illustrated. It needs to be artistic. That’s where it loses me.

When it comes to art I feel mine is never good enough. Because of this I hold back. Because of this I have kept a journal about my sketchbook. I have many ideas. Rebinding the sketchbook. Some simple drawings. Some written works.

I keep all of these ideas in journal. I’ve yet to transfer any of them to the sketchbook. The thought of making a mistake overwhelms me. Leaves me frozen. Leaves my pages blank.
